Veterans Homelessness Prevention Demonstration Program (VHPD) Announced!

On July 22, 2010, HUD, in collaboration with the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Labor, announced a three-year $15 million initiative to address the prevention of homelessness among our nation’s veterans. Read press release.

Under the new Veterans Homelessness Prevention Demonstration Program (VHPD), existing HUD grantees or ‘Continuums of Care’ located near the following military installations will each receive $2 million: MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida; Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California; Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas; Fort Drum in Watertown, New York; and Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington. In addition, VA medical centers in the following areas will each receive $1 million: Tampa, San Diego, Dallas, Syracuse, New York; and American Lake in Washington.

The demonstration is similar in design to HUD’s Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) and is intended to address the financial and supportive services needs of veterans and their families who may be at-risk of homelessness, or experiencing short-term homelessness. Veterans from the wars in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, and veterans serving in the National Guard and Reserve are among the group targeted for the demonstration.
